IMPRQVEMENT IN r'ENeE.

The Schedule 'referred to in these Letters Ptent and making part of thesame.

To all whom 'it may concern Be it known that I, .loi-1N CARR, of EmeraldPost Oice, in the county of Adams, and State of Ohio, have invented anew and valuable Improvement in Fences;

and I do'hereby declare that the following is a full,

clear,.and exact description Aofthe construction and operation -of thesame, reference being had to the annexed drawings,`making a part of thisspecific-ation,

-and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon..

Figure l, of the drawings, is a plan view of my invention.-

Figure 2 is a detail view. v My invention relates to portablejfences;and It consists mainly in a nvel arrangement of devices intended toserve as cheap and effective means for proeach other closely when Vinplace. Thesebottom boards respectively rest upon the cross-bar B, in theopening formed by the -diagonal position of the lower braces A.l

When thus placed in position, these bottom boards vgive greatrmness tothe fence.

The letters D represent the rails of my fence. They consist of spars orbars of timber, made pointed at each end, and arranged to pass eachother for a short distance'in the openings; of diamond-shape, formed bythe braces A when in place. When thns placed in said openings, theserails, in conjunction with the bottom board, serve to make the fencestrong and firnn The pivot-pins of my fence are marked aon'the drawings.They respectively pass through the braces 1A, as shown, and are in tumpinned in place by the small pins s.

This arrangement serves 'as an economical and ornamental portable'fence,easily taken apart, and easily repaired when broken.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secnre by Letters- Patent,is

A portable fence, having braces A, cross-bar B, bout# tom board C,rails'D, and pivot-pins a, constructed and 'arranged substantially asspeciiied.

In testimony that I claim the above, I have hereunto subscribed myname,in the presence of two witnesses. v
